Simple and effective.

I can't figure out why you would crop it in such a way that cuts off her right knee. That being said, the angle is unique and the pose is just fine.

I like this because it has dark elements that are combined with subtle colors of autumn. Most other autumn photos are saturated with color.

Maybe just a few too many people and not enough context?

Nice color bird but the background is not very interesting. Try again!

There is no doubt that this is a high quality, visually striking photograph. I particularly like the narrow perspective and the towering sides of the buildings. But in regards to the possibility of capturing a city one must have people not ghosts. It seems that if such a photo is possible it must include; people expressing their culture in some form, a characteristic buildings or landmarks, and some reference to activity (be it decay or rebirth). That is the short list. Does anyone have more?

I think I might have tried to crop out the confusing stuff in the lower left - focus on the colors.

It takes everything down to essence. I like it.

I like the "hanging frame" look that you accomplished here.

I think I would try to simplify it. There is too many things going on here.

You worked this photo well without losing the overall feeling. I like the bw/color format.

The composition on this is really well done. It gives the feeling of depth and grand power.

I would have given it a higher rating if it were in focus. I don't think the softness helps it. But you were able to capture the power and form of that wave. Nicely done.

One thing that I find when taking photos in or near a resort is that they tend to be a little, how do I say it, manicured. My opinion but I think nature should be natural.

September 23, 2003

Nice idea but much too dark.

September 23, 2003

Could you have centered it? The light source at the right does not add to the photo.

September 23, 2003

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I agree that it is photography - that seems rather obvious. My point is that any form of artistic expression can be over-produced and hence lose the impact originally intended. If it were a painting I would say the same thing.

I think if you are going to use waves as a subject matter then they should convey power or form. Unfortunately this does neither.

I agree with Carlos. I understand that this is artistic expression but, as with a score of music, it can be over produced.

I think the sepia adds warmth to the setting.

I wonder why you cut off the bottom part of her body - it doesn't feel complete.

August 28, 2003

It is offset nicely and I like the pattern in the stone. I like it!

Cropping?

Maybe you could have darkened the wall so that the image stood out more. Check out a similar photo in my portfolio. What do you think?

August 15, 2003

I like the fact that darkness seems to be moving in on the boat. Foreboding.
